Best or Funniest White Elephant/Yankee Swap Gift You've Ever Gotten

A really bad romance novel.

But some of the ones I've given have been even better. One year I gave a copy of The Book of Mormon, condoms, and a can of Bud Light. Last year I gave a Hot Guys and Baby Animals calendar, to which I taped pics of me and my bf with our respective pets. Also, my dad's side of the family does a name draw and when snuggies were popular I got a leopard print one for my cousin who was a freshman in college at the time (and he still wears it).

 

I call it a White Elephant gift exchange. I actually never heard of it being called a Yankee Swap.

What I've gotten:

I got a toy turkey leg (it was kind of an inside joke) and a slap and chop once.
A Santa Butt Musical Farting 5" Plush Christmas Ornament.
A butter knife with it's own set of decorative jam jars.
A vanilla bean in a jar...

I don't know about good, Just random things.

 

I've done them a couple of times but never really remember what I got... I don't really care much about physical goods, I guess?

Last year I got a spice rack, though... and they told me the spices were old so they probably weren't very good x.x

 

Think the best one was a pair of vintage comic books, Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk, I got during one of my family's get-togethers. Funniest wasn't me but it was my brother. He ended up with a gift my great-grandmother had put in for herself- imitation crab meat and a Fred Meyer's gift card. I think we made crab rolls out of the meat.

 

Best, and funniest, was an ostrich beanie baby in a garbage bag. I got him a few years ago and still haven't thought of a name.

 

My family always called it a Kris Kringle. Last year my cousin had just been married before Christmas, and her husband received a huge packet of aphrodisiac tea for women.

 

Once, I remember my husband tried to be thoughtful and buy me a very pretty necklace off the internet. He miss-clicked somehow, and when it arrived, rather then checking it, he wrapped it up, still in the box it was sent in.
I was rather shocked to find on Christmas morning, not what he thought he'd ordered, but a very ugly polo-neck Christmas jumper.
He was more upset than I was, and he always checks things very, very carefully now.
